(...) I'm resistant to this. I think all the models should be rendered with the same settings. In other words, I want the settings in the file that aren't directly related to the model (camera, floor, lighting, etc) to be same across all the (...)

(...) I tend to enjoy a camera angle of 55 for perspective renderings, the default (67, I think) has too much perspective. -Tim (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Well, I attempted to do that with ldglite a year or two ago: (URL) it has a few bugs, and a new L3P release with lots of handy new command line options seemed imminent at the time so I put it on the backburner. I think it should work ok to (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) A few teething problems are perhaps to be expected. Setting the latitude to 30° and the camera angle to 20 gives a reasonable view of all sides. Cheers, Allister (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Orion, I can sympathize. I still feel like I'm just stumbling through POV-RAY myself. May I suggest using L3P and L3P-Add-On (in case you're not already using them)? These help me tremendously. As far as camera angles go, I almost never use a height (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I think most people won't fault you at all, the goal of a leval playing field is a very good one. MoTM should be about the models, not the renderings. I was able to decide which model I liked best nonetheless. (...) I am a total novice at this (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I apologize for the way the renders turned out this month, I was hoping for a good start to the new format. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) As an entrant, I have one comment. I understand the desire to to render all models with the same setting but I think those settings need to be tweaked a bit. The default camera settings allow for a perspective effect, but at close range, they (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I've gotta agree here. It's not so much the distortion that's the problem, it's that the viewpoint is so high that you don't get a clear enough view of the sides. It's especially noticeable in (URL) this> shot. What latitude is the camera set (...) (20 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Actually I was thinking about using a different rending technique every month. This month it was POV-Ray Jeroen's Radiosity Include. And I lied, next month won't be MLCad straight but LDGLite. Maybe I should post a 3-4 month outlook? -Orion (20 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
